MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN "JUMPING" INTO SECOND GEAR SEVERAL YEARS AGO. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER CHECK IT 3 TIMES, AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE A PROBLEM. IN THEIR DEFENSE, THE FOLKS AT THE DEALERESHIP ARE PLEASANT AND HELPFUL, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE JUMP IS SOMEWHAT INCONSISTENT (LET'S SAY 50 PERCENT OF THE TIME), BUT VERY INTRUSIVE ~ MUCH LIKE SOMEONE LETTING OUT A MANUAL CLUTCH TOO QUICKLY.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
